Actinomycetes, one of the most diverse groups of filamentous bacteria, are well recognized for their metabolic versatility. The bioactive potential of these bacteria facilitates their survival even in distress and unfavourable ecological conditions. This special issue is dedicated to the importance of multitude of primary and secondary metabolites produced by actinomycetes. The importance of large repertory of enzymes from actinomycetes and their potential in replacing chemical catalysts is discussed.
